WASHINGTON – Anyone visiting the Lincoln Memorial this week will get to see a brand-new monument right next to it: a gold toilet mounted on a 10-foot-tall marble throne, hailing President Donald Trump for making a bathroom renovation his top priority.
Anonymous artists installed the faux marble structure early Monday morning to mock Trump for spending his time remodeling the Lincoln Bathroom at the White House instead of addressing pressing matters facing the country.
“In a time of unprecedented division, escalating conflict, and economic turmoil, President Trump focused on what truly mattered: remodeling the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House,” reads a plaque on the throne, which is titled “A Throne Fit For A King.”
“This, his crowning achievement, is a bold reminder that the President isn’t just a businessman, he’s taking care of business,” it reads. “It stands as a tribute to an unwavering visionary who looked down, saw a problem, and painted it gold.”
Asked for comment, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said Trump was “overwhelmingly elected” to redesign a bathroom in the White House.
